Project of expansion in Brazil

According to EVIALIS officials, this acquisition meets its strategic objective of expanding its international animal nutrition operations by 2010. In addition, it represents an opportunity to gain the scale and logistics that will put the company ever closer to its customers in Brazil’s several states, supplying solutions in animal nutrition and a high-quality product line.
For Cargill, the sale represents an opportunity to redirect its investments. The company will continue to operate as usual in the animal nutrition segment in the many other countries where it has a presence.
